Quick Appetizer: Dolores Dip

Try this savory dip when you want a "make ahead" option for a party, or a potluck.  If you're hosting a bridal or baby shower, this is also an easy and deliciously different filling for tea sandwiches.  It's named for my mother, Dolores, who is always asked to bring this creamy spread to every occasion. Thanks, Mom, for sharing the super secret family recipe!
